"Moving From a Feature Factory to User Value Creation Organization" by Michae...Productized
Product management grew out of a realization that customer focus and product knowledge was critical to building suсessful products. However, not all organizations have embraced the revectored responsibilities brought by this change. Many organizations still run as “feature factories” focused on “more” delivery and not “what” or “why”. In this model Product Managers function as development handlers, meant to increase speed and hit dates. The importance of focusing on outcomes and not how many tickets are delivered is paramount to success in today’s competitive landscape. Resource waste on the wrong features can be all it takes for a competitor to displace the cash cow.
In this PRODUCTIZED talk, Michael Rutledge, Senior Product Manager at OLX Group, dives deep on what defines customer value delivery, a Product Manager’s role in the cycle, the attributes of a high functioning delivery organization, and the challenges of migrating between models.

Learn the latest in print technology: RFID technology embedded in paper. As costs for RFID and NFC tags continue to decrease, and phone manufacturers incorporate NFC capabilities into their products, RFID is being embraced in marketing campaigns, products, and events across the world. RFID in marketing brings a certain level of interaction to campaigns. Whereas traditional advertising campaigns push a message onto the consumer, interactive campaigns invite the consumer to engage with the brand.
Consumers have their smartphones or tablets in hand all the time. NFC (Near Field Communications) is a technology that invites consumers to connect directly with your advertisements, signage, displays, and other printed communications. NFC shortens the distance between inquiry and action. It lets customers spend more time engaging and making purchases through an interactive experience rather than just visiting a static web page.

Level up - First SDGs accelerator in CEEEmanuele Musa
Babele.co & Nod Makerspace are launching the first SDGs accelerator in Central & Eastern Europe, aimed at supporting the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN.
Here is the model:

- We let the corporate choose the venture that they want to adopt for the program;
Both venture and up to 10 employees from the sponsor company will attend the accelerator. The goal is three-fold:
- Support the social enterprise to scale its impact;
- Foster the entrepreneurial mindset of corporate employees;

Globalization creates many opportunities but also challenges for businesses today.
While some challenges may be particular to a country or sector, there are many challenges that SMEs around the world have in common.
Numerous barriers exist, so in order for SMEs to not only survive and grow, they must be armed with the correct tools and strategies to overcome these challenges and thrive.
While there are some that the individual business cannot control (at least for now) that does not mean they should sit back and do nothing.
A business that decides to understand the challenges and develop a program for finding solutions is a business that puts itself in a position to achieve success.
